Science fiction movies have become the most popular type of films among audiences. In 2013, apart from the classic superheroes such as Batman, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Superman, a new wave of sci-fi blockbusters like "Prometheus," "Oblivion," "Pacific Rim," and "Cloud Atlas" also attracted numerous viewers. While Chinese audiences enjoyed these movies, they also hoped for China to produce its own sci-fi masterpieces. In February 2013, a piece of news excited Chinese sci-fi fans – a sci-fi film adaptation based on Liu Cixins novel "The Three-Body Problem" was confirmed to be in the works. Even before the official filming began, trailers made by sci-fi enthusiasts for the Three-Body film circulated widely on the internet.
